Console.PHP
===========

[](#consolephp)

*A project by Devin Clark*

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using Composer:

```
{
    "require": {
      "devin-clark/console-php": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

Otherwise, just download the class and drop it in somewhere and require it. Pretty simple.

Example
-------

[](#example)

A super minimal example to get started:

```
require("Console-PHP.php");
$errors = new Console_PHP;
$errors->log("This message won't output")->print_errors();

```

As you can see, you can also chain methods to your hearts content.
You probably are familiar with Chrome DevTools but if not, you can read up on it here. [Console API Reference](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/console-api)

Available Methods
-----------------

[](#available-methods)

- `->log($message)` - Logs a message to the console.
- `->clear()` - Clears the console.
- `->dir($obj)` - Displays an object in a pretty way.
- `->group("Name")` - Creates a group.
- `->groupCollapsed("Name")` - Creates a collapsed group.
- `->groupEnd()` - Ends the group.
- `->warn($message)` - Logs a warning to the console.
- `->count("Message");` - Shows how many times count is invoked for a specific label.
- `->assert($condition, "Description")` - The first parameter is a condition and if that condition evaluates to false, the assertion fails and a message will be outputted to the console.

### Output Errors

[](#output-errors)

```
echo $test->print_errors();

```

Alternatively, you can do `echo (string)$test;` and get the same result. It's up to you.
